Advertising seems misleading

I just bought a 5TB ArmorATD today and I am returning it. If the read speed is max 130MBs (write is something slower), why does advertising state a fast transfer rate of 5Gbps which is about 5 times faster than the drive is capable of? It ran at about 100MBs write on my new MAC M4.
